Emir Sanusi Says Won’t Help Tinubu’s Govt or Talk about the Economy
Sanusi spoke as the chairman of the 21st Memorial Lecture of Chief Gani Fawehimi held in Lagos, on Wednesday.
Former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor/ the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that he will not offer any advice to President Bola Tinubu’s led federal government on how to tackle the economic challenges facing the country.
Sanusi served as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria from 2009 to 2014.
Sanusi spoke as the chairman of the 21st Memorial Lecture of Chief Gani Fawehimi held in Lagos, on Wednesday.
The Emir stated that he started by helping the government but that he has now resolved not to help the government again.
He said: ” I can give a few points here about what we are going through and how it was predictable and avoidable.
But I am not going to do that. I have chosen not to speak on the economy, or reforms or to explain anything because if I explain it, it will help this government. But I don’t want to help this government.
They are my friends, but if they don’t behave like friends, I won’t behave like a friend.
” They don’t even have people with pedigree that can come and explain to the people what they are doing. I am not going to help.
I started by helping, but I am not going to help. Let them come and explain to Nigerians why they are pursuing the policies that they are pursuing.
” But I will say this one thing though. What we are going through today is at least in part, a necessary consequence of decades of irresponsible management.
People were warning that if we continued the way that we were going, this is how we will end up but they refused to listen.
“Now, is everything being done correctly? No. When I am ready to talk about the economy, I will.”
Sanusi also charged lawyers to emulate the virtues of the late Gani Fawehinmi whom he said was an embodiment of good character and virtues now lacking in the legal profession.
President Bola Tinubu has approved a one-year extension for the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi. Originally set to end in August 2025, his tenure will now continue until August 2026.
According to a statement signed by Special Adviser Bayo Onanuga, the extension aims to give Mr. Adeniyi the opportunity to consolidate key reforms and oversee the completion of major initiatives, including the modernisation of Customs operations, the National Single Window Project, and Nigeria’s obligations under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
President Tinubu commended Adeniyi’s leadership and expressed confidence that the extension would bolster trade facilitation, boost revenue generation, and enhance border security.
Appointed Comptroller-General in October 2023, Adeniyi recently achieved international recognition when he was elected Chairperson of the Council of the World Customs Organization, the highest decision-making body in global customs affairs.
